Emanzini Resort

As its name, which means "at the water," perfectly promises, Emanzini Resort is the ultimate waterfront playground. Privately situated on the banks of the beautiful Vrede Dam, this is a destination where your holiday revolves around the thrill and tranquility of the water. Located in the picturesque, rolling grasslands of the Eastern Free State, with great views of the Langberg Mountain, it’s an easily accessible escape, just a two-hour drive from Johannesburg. It’s the perfect getaway for families who want to experience the great outdoors at its most fun and exciting.

The resort is a true paradise for water lovers, offering the best fishing in the area and a vast, open space for boating and a huge variety of water sports. The camping experience is designed to give you a front-row seat to all the action. You can choose from a large number of prime, waterfront campsites, placing you right at the water's edge with the dam literally at your footsteps. Alternatively, for a more sheltered and classic camping feel, a variety of beautiful sites are available nestled under the cool shade of the pine trees.

While the dam is the main attraction, the resort offers a complete and comfortable holiday experience. For those who prefer a break from the water, a sparkling swimming pool provides a great spot to relax and cool off. The accommodation options are wonderfully versatile, ensuring there is a perfect fit for everyone. Don't have your own tent or caravan? No problem! You can choose from a range of options, from simple and affordable "camping cabins" to traditional, fully-equipped wooden chalets. It is this masterful blend of an action-packed water-focused setting and versatile, comfortable accommodation that makes Emanzini a truly special destination.
